The summer home of the 
gray squirrels was in a 
leafy nest in the topmost 
branches of an oak tree, 
and there the little gray 
squirrels were born. 
Little Gray Squirrels 
When the family was on 
the ground looking for 
food, either the father or 
the mother would sit on 
a limb, keeping a sharp 
lookout for danger. 
In the fall, when the nuts 
and acorns were nearly 
ripe, they cut many from 
the tree, letting them fall, 
which saved many trips 
up and down the tree.
